Description
Here is a fabulous photo showing the opulent ancient architectural details of a few very beautiful homes along the Grand Canal in Venice as viewed in 1890. Your very own Rialto gondoliers are ready to scoot you all around! Venice was a very different world 132 years ago. There were no automobiles, electricity was still in its infancy & still-photography was a relatively new & very exciting invention. For the very wealthy, there were lavish picture books for people to gaze upon... exotic & wonderful far-off places around the globe; like the book, this delightful black & white rotogravure came from. This original print from 1890 measures 8.5" x 11 overall, by itself without the border, it's 6" x 8." It's printed on quality heavy-weight semi-gloss paper. It's smooth & clean, without wrinkles or pings, or marks. 'The Grand Canal is a beautiful vintage gem. Matted, framed, & displayed as a gallery grouping, these fine old black & white architectural photo prints are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last two photos are to show how this might look when it's matted & framed. Your antique print will come to you unmatted & unframed.)
